"Jo’s skill and subtlety as a therapist helped me to grow and develop the resources I need to support myself. I always felt like we were getting somewhere because Jo’s relaxed and approachable demeanour is informed by an appropriate balance between kindness and professionalism. She has my deepest gratitude and I would happily recommend her to others."

Couples Therapy

For most of us the relationship that we create with our partner can be a source of both great joy and at times great difficulty. When we experience 'a rough patch', or end up having the same old argument with each other again and again, we can become disheartened and disillusioned. When this goes on without change, we may believe that the only solution is to end our relationship. There are other complications too - if there has been infidelity or other circumstances that have broken the bonds of trust and affection, there are important choices to be made about forgiveness and whether to repair ruptured relationships.

Coming to couples counselling can be an valuable opportunity to explore and change ingrained patterns of relating to each other. It is a space to bring difficult and seemingly intractable problems, to learn about how we are co- creating our difficultes and to find new and more effective ways of communicating and relating to each other.

Most couple work lasts between 8 - 12 sessions with an option to be more open ended if needed.

If you are looking to deepen your relationship by increasing the amount of intimacy and independance you both have, feel free to call or email me for an initial assessment.
Please note that I charge my full fee for couples counselling and don't provide a free half hour consultation.
